What's the first thing you do to improve the acoustics of the room? ]]>EParkes2018-03-21T07:41:30-00:00Re: What's your first move?

I'd go straight to the ceiling with lots of broad band absorbtion (unless under 7.5 high).]]>johnnycamp52018-03-22T21:39:37-00:00Re: What's your first move?

The ceiling in my old living room is only 7'8", and because of that I did not want to put any broadband absorbers on it.
I went to the walls instead, which I don't believe is as good if you have to choose one or the other.]]>johnnycamp52018-03-23T15:37:37-00:00Re: What's your first move?

If after setting everything up you still find it too live sounding, you can add panel absorbers.
Of course thick throw carpets or wall panels are easier to incorporate than ceiling treatments.
Treating the ceiling in it's entirety is a common treatment amongs mixers/studio engeneers.
It is often refered to as "lifting the ceiling".
The best sounding (to me) rooms I have been in were this way,
with wood floors.

Johnny, I wish I had wood floors. Unfortunately, the room has this hideous shag carpet that I'm pretty sure I'm going to get rid of asap. What density of carpet is best?]]>EParkes2018-03-24T01:17:20-00:00
